I was put on Metformin for insulin resistance, but I am not one for unnecessary meds. I continue to read post after post that Metformin is not going to help me get pregnant, so I am wondering do I even need it? Is it actually fixing a problem that needs to be fixed? Also, if it is not going to help get pregnant, why does my doctor insist I use it for two months to see if I begin ovulating again before using other meds? Why not just go ahead and give me the meds I need to help? Thanks for any helpful information!

I went off it for a while, but I went back on about 2 years ago when we weren't even doing an IVF cycle because it helps regulate my insatiable desire for carbs and helps me regulate my weights/metobolism. I don't know that this is something that can be medically proven, but it works for me!

Could I have ovulated on my own despi... »
